57 The amount that Risa had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Risa had in the end the same. LM of 2 and 1 is 10.
Total amount given to Risa and Liam
= 30 u + 7 u
= 37 u
37 u = 370
1 u = 370 ÷ 37 = 10
Amount that Risa received from her father
= 30 u
= 30 x 10
= $300
(b)
Amount that Liam deposited
= 2 u
= 2 x 10
= $20
Savings that Liam had at first = 100%
Savings that Liam had in the end
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
20% of the savings = 20
1% of the savings =
2020120% of the savings = 120 x
2020 = 120
Liam's savings in the end = $120
Answer(s): (a) $300; (b) $120
